They give you extra traction without having to worry about wax. Both ultimately keep the feet from sliding on the board. Using a combination of both the traction pad for the back foot and wax for the front is the best combination, mainly because there aren't many, if not at all, front traction pads. Plus it is cheaper to use wax.
